One fungi that caught my attention as I was foraging the surroundings of Mont Royal was the Mycena Galericulata, formally known as the Common Bonnet. They are hard to distinguish in the wild because they come in different shades. This gill mushroom is mainly found on rotting wood and can be spotted during the summer and the fall. As the spores age, its gills can become pink and many cross-veins between gills can be noticed too. This fungi is generally considered inedible because of its rancid smell, farinaceous taste and biomass that truly isn't worth it. The name is derived from its shape. Their appearance is characteristically similar to the bonnets that the Mycenae of Ancient Greece wore.
